Rising Empire: Part 1

The nine kingdoms of Celadmore are at war. The people suffer under tyrants that strive to gain land and power in the struggle for superiority.

Queen Kasnata is trapped in a loveless, political marriage to King Mercia Nosfa VI. Her children are held hostage by her husband to force her armies to march on his whim.

The people of Grashindorph, capital city of Nosfa, are oppressed by their king and beneath the surface of the city a revolution stirs.

As war threatens to tear Celadmore to pieces, Kasnata struggles to bring peace back to the realm. She fights against venality to bring hope to all those that are oppressed, as well as those that have been caught in the savagery of warring kings.

Can the legendary queen, Empress of the Order find the strength to fight knowing the fate of her people rests on her shoulders?

“We assume he has been alone with the queen for the last few days and yet no one seems too concerned about it. He seems to have the trust of a lot of very suspicious individuals. If I were an assassin or a spy, then that is how I would infiltrate our people.” Misna observed with a shrug.

“You are an assassin, spy and infiltrator.” Amalia said with a raised eyebrow.

“Then perhaps we should be more mindful of General Bird than we have been.”

Nicolette Mace: the Raven Siren – Beginnings

Beginnings sees the start of Nicolette Mace’s career as a private investigator, the events of this book have consequences that extend throughout the whole series, many that are as unexpected for the reader as for the characters involved.

My name is Nicolette Mace, though the city knows me as the Raven Siren. I’m the youngest private investigator most people have ever come across. I’ve been in hospital more times than I have been in a school class room.

I was playing with guns when I was four years old; I knew how to drive cars at seven. I’ve spent most of my life running around the toughest and meanest streets this city has to offer and they haven’t found something that can kill me yet.

I am Nicolette Mace, I am the Raven Siren and nothing is going to stop me from taking my revenge.
